Many thoughts flashed through Felix's mind, but the situation didn't allow her to be distracted. "Behind you!"
Clang!
Filly swung her sword to block the strike from behind, shielding Felix as they entered the rooftop staircase.
"Since you know Ash, we should be on the same side, right?" Filly said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll protect you!"
Felix blinked, "Are you... very skilled in swordsmanship?"
"Yes, my swordsmanship is quite impressive. Ash said I am qualified to fight side by side with him!" Filly earnestly replied, "By the way, are you very close to Ash? Could it be... you are the Sword Maiden or Witch?"
"I'm not." Felix first denied it and then asked, "Are you very close to Ash?"
"...Probably more than friends?" Filly paused, her tone becoming certain. "Yes, definitely more than friends!"
Felix was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out to press on Filly's back, adding several empowering Miracles like "Cat's Grace" to her.
